Department of Energy Politecnico di Milano Author Emanuela Colombo Pag.1 of 18 Date 27/06/2022 Milan, 25th May 2022 Exam –Thermoeconomics and Energy Modelling 13-06-2022 Total score: 21 points (exercise 1 roughly 2/3 of the total) Exercise 1. The concentrated solar power plant depicted in Figure 1 works with a water steam Rankine cycle. This is a regenerative cycle. A portion of the s team exiting from the expansion Turbine enters a regenerative Heat Exchanger (mixing type) which lays in between the two feeding pumps. The solar radiation captured by solar field is equal to 942.1 MWth while the net electric power produced by the plant is equal to 39.1 MWel. The heat released by the condenser is discharged in the environment without any additional cost.
